We are here for business and can’t stay without it, henco we must and will sell our goods at a very small profit.

Miss Fannie Paulk, the beautiful ; daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. j •Paulk, was very sick Tuesday. We hojre she has recovered ere this.

Mr. Scott Giddens, just east of Brushy creek church, may have to borrow some grass seed next year to get-a'btart. His crops are free from grass and are first-class. When the new county, with Tif- ton as the county seat, is organized, it would be a graceful act of its cit- izens to send the editor of the Gazette to the legislature as its first rep- resentative, and we hope this will be done, though we know we shall not live to see see it. . Don’t forget to see Joe Little, at Powell, Bullard & Co.’s when you want the most goods for the least money.

The surveying eorps’of the Way- cross Air-Line reached Fitzgerald early in the week, and we expect the Enterprise to.announce, in this week’s issue, the arrival of the first train into that city. It is reported that all the candi- dates who attend the picnic at Bone Pond Saturday, will be cal-led on lor a speech, and that those who refuse to speak will be feeling badly about ’lection day. Mr. Scott Guldens brought us an Irish potato Tuesday that is a curi¬ osity. It is a potato of medium size with nine others growing out of it. The ten would be as much as a man would care to eat at one time. Mr. J. B. Jones brought us a curiosity Monday in the shape of a cabbage stalk with -nine well-devel¬ oped heads of cabbage on it, and four smaller heads, making thirteen beads in all. Mr. Jones says he has about twenty similar freaks among his cabbage. In Jar prief report of the singing convention last week, we mentioned only two young ladies, who sang difficult parts.

Front the opening to the closing of his lectureOthere was the liveliest interest manifested, His delineation of the negro character was excellent, his eloquence was soul-stirring, bis anecdotes were mirth-provoking, his facial contor¬ tions were inimitable, and—well, Alf. Herrington is a genius and higher flights await him. A negro “Indian Corn Doctor” struck the town Tuesday morning, and after extracting three corns for ail afflicted individual, was arrested for “practicing medicine and sur¬ gery,” and committed to. Irwin- villc jail to await trial before Judge Clements. The negro’s name is Mathew Pslams, and he says he’ has extracted corns in Atlanta, Macon, Albany, atul other places, and at none of these places was he required to have a state license. He claims Missouri as his native state, and said he learned to extract corns from an old Indian with whom he used to live.
